You're night shots are amazing. That's some really good stuff. What kind of camera are you using?

I have a friend of mine who is currently at BYU, Chealsea Nalder, do you know her?

They're technically proficient, but the composition just kind leaves me cold. There's not much attitude, or mystery.

One thing I notice that would help a lot with you "object" photos is fiddling with the F-setting. You seem to be shooting with the lowest F-stop, giving you a depth of field that's ridiculously shallow. When you want to draw the eye to one particular part of a photo, that's a good thing, like in your Droplets and Old Pink shots, bu in others, especially Hoops, Creeps, and To My Friend, it singles one part of the shot too much. If you use a higher numerical F-setting, you can get a longer DOF, and make for better settings.

The "scenes" page is good, but the rest just don't do anything for me.

look good to me! i agree with silver on the depth comments though, mess with the f-setting and see what you can do with that. my favorite is "scary" in the night shots

take is as constructive criticism..2 weeks and you've already got a website up? that's not bad at all! you've got plenty of time to develop your skills..you should definitely stick with it though.
